I am so excited to review Hard Candy! It is definitely my favorite drugstore makeup company. I find myself looking to them for dupes and new products and have almost always been satisfied with them.
In this series due to preference, I'm likely going to be reaching for liquid lipsticks rather than stick. If you'd like to know why I can make a post about it. Let me know if you're interested!
Lets Get Started!
So, I picked up these products at my local Walmart for $6.00 each. The packaging is honestly the cutest, and most innovative I have experienced. The lipstick has a special velvet section that hold it in place. The little tin has a built in mirror, which makes it so versatile! You can just pop the lipstick into the tin and put the tin in your purse and you have a mirror and your product in one place. I think its awesome.
I picked up 5 colors.
3 are from the Metallic Mousse Collection
♥Penny Talk- a stunning copper/bronze pigment.
♥Sandstorm- a beautiful brown/nude metallic.
♥Queen of Hearts- a deep metallic red
2 are from the Matte Mousse
♥Sweet Pea- a really cute blue based pink. My absolute favorite!
♥Wisteria- a deep purple
Here are the swatches! The names are listed with the swatch.
These lipsticks are impressive for only $6.00! They are pretty long wear, even though they seem to transfer a lot. Regarding the metallics, I found that during the day I had seen a lot of transfer on my coffee mug or water bottle but really there was no drastic change in pigment unless I was eating greasy food such as chips or something else.
Regarding the mattes, they didn't actually dry down as completely matte. The quality as a demi-matte, however, is far above the $6.00 price tag.They wre like a typical lipstic and they lasted a good 5 hours and a lunch wihtout really needing a huge reapplication, just a few touch ups here and there. These are all around great products! Definitely worth the money!
Let me know your thoughts on these if you try them, and any suggestions for other lip products to try!
